Two weeks later and I can still buy and RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition at MSRP
Does this mean that the RTX 3090 Ti costs too much?

Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti is still in stock at its MSRP price over two weeks after launch
Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti launched two weeks ago and remains in stock and available at retailers, signalling and end to the GPU shortage and an end to the time where gamers would seemingly pay anything for a graphics card. Even Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition graphics card remains available to purchase.
With a high MSRP of £1,879 in the UK, some gamers will not be surprised that Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti has remained on store shelves. Even so, it wasn't long ago that almost all RTX 3090 graphics cards were available for over £2,000, and the RTX 3090 is less performant than an RTX 3090 Ti.
In time, we expect GPU pricing to normalise further, with lower-end GPU models achieving prices that are closer to their intended MSRPs. With next-generation graphics cards being expected later this year from both AMD and Nvidia, we know that both companies will want to clear their stocks of current-generation models before their next-generation counterparts replace them.
The end of GPU scalping?
Now that many graphics cards are readily available at retailers, there is less and less incentive for scalpers to buy up GPUs and sell them on eBay. Graphics card pricing on websites like eBay have fallen dramatically in recent weeks, as the availability of new graphics cards at retailers has given used GPU buyers no incentive to pay inflated prices. Today's GPU purchases are no longer fuelled by desperation, and that means that today's buyers can maximise the value of their purchases.
Will things get better for the low-end market?
As time goes on, we expect GPU pricing to normalise further. We expect the pricing of today's graphics cards to continue to lower, especially as the launch of new GPU hardware approaches. That said, it remains to be seen whether or not next-generation GPU launches will suffer from the same shortages as AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series and Nvidia's RTX 30 series.

There is no competition in the GPU segment now. They just both take the raging pi55 as opposed to just one.
The only thing that will change this is a certain company with a blue logo.Quote

But like all biz startup's in any area if you break even in the first 3 years ya not done bad.
AMD will make more profit, but they are able to reduce easier than the others prices if they actually want to compete this time around.
Intel being in 3070/ti teritory when the 7700XT if at a midrange price is going to be similar to a 6900XT well Intel are going to have to cut prices soon after launch it's already nearly may they best hope they sell plenty and fast cause the next gen are monsters in terms of performance.
Oh an lets not forget Raja LUL Seriously the best Intel can hope for is the lower end of the market least for now and while many people want Intel to do well it's only to bring down prices most of the people just want cheaper Nvidia cards. Personally I want AMD to bounce back like the past 5850x days and actually change the market like they did at the start of Ryzen, they have come a long way and since Raja left seem to be doing much better. As for Nvidia I simply just hate the way everything they do is a walled garden they are as bad if not worse than Apple.Quote

I know I'm being harsh on Intel atm but they have at least started out on the right foot with their design it's just idk when they will have the performance for the next gen.
Cards are not just sitting while prices are falling they are sitting as most got fed up and now maybe 6months away from a new set of cards why would you buy now unless you really need it.
Either way I'll upgrade my CPU, but being honest I have no idea when i will upgrade my GPU I'm more likely to buy a new case and fill it with storage atm

What nvidia should be more concerned about is if they feel they can keep prices high next time around, well that'll go badly and most of there entire range will sit on the shelf.

3090ti sitting but they are so cheap at nearly 2k LULQuote
